Jesus is known as our Savior through prophecy, His birth, and His fulfilling of God's redemptive plan as laid out in the Scriptures.
The belief in Jesus as our Savior is rooted in both prophecy and fulfillment of Scripture. From the angel's announcement of His birth (Matthew 1:21) to the specific prophecies in the Old Testament that speak of His coming, Jesus fulfills the requirements of the Messiah. His mission was clear: He came to save His people from their sins. Moreover, His life, sacrificial death, and resurrection provide the foundation for our faith. The acknowledgment of Him as the Redeemer who reconciles sinners to God is central to understanding His role in salvation, as explained throughout the New Testament.
